Plasmonics Workshop

Wednesday, October 10, 17, 24, 30, November 7, 2007, 7:00-9:30 PM
Located at MIT Lincoln Laboratory - 244 Wood Street, Lexington, MA, 02420, USA

The accelerating rise of plasmonics, a technology that squeezes electromagnetic waves into minuscule nano-structures, is promising to lead to a new generation of super-fast computer chips, smaller and brighter LEDs and super-compact lasers, ultra-sensitive chemical and biological detectors for homeland security and cancer treatment, and even meta-materials for practical invisibility cloaks. To learn about this amazing new technology and separate fact from science fiction, attend this local LEOS Workshop to discover the latest results at the cutting edge of these technologies from ten of the foremost academic researchers in this field, brought to Boston from across the US this fall just for this workshop.
